Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is simply the step before cheese is allowed to solidify and
the result is very high moisture curds. When cottage cheese is completely drained
it becomes farmer's cheese. In America the curds are usually washed to reduce
the acidity and this unfortunately makes them somewhat bland.

Cottage cheese is generally produced in three curd sizes, but the most widely
available is the smaller curd cheese. It is low in fat with the whole milk
version being 2 grams fat per ounce. Low-fat cottage cheese is 1 gram of fat
per ounce and a non-fat is available.
